Snivellus' sister

1 - Questionable First Encounters

Silver and Severus Snape were standing on the edge of platform 9 3/4 on the morning of September first, both of their heads down looking at the ground not acknowledging anyone around them. The busy platform was overflowing with witches and wizards of all ages. Squeals could be hear from young witches meeting up with their friends after the long summer that had passed.

Although many students loved returning to Hogwarts, they loved the holidays even more and were sad to be leaving their families. This was not the case for the Snape's who remained silent until the whistles of the crimson red train could be heard, resulting in the wizarding families saying their goodbyes to board the train. Silver and Severus turned to face their parents, not meeting either of their eyes. Silver finally gave in and looked up to the stern face of her mother. The scowling face appeared as if she had smelt a foul smell, with her jet black hair pulled neatly into a very tight bun at the bottom of her head. Silver looked into her mother's deadly black eyes and saw no sadness of her children leaving. Instead, the mother grimaced at her child, pushing the girls trunk towards her son for him to carry for his sister, he willingly took it and escorted his twin sister to the train without looking back to their parents. But before they could an acidic voice erupted from behind them. Immediately, they both turned to see their mother with a wicked grin across her face.

"Now Severus, you look after your darling sister and make sure she doesn't get into anymore trouble or else she will not be welcome back home."
Severus straightened up clearly in preparation to argue back with his mother but Silver rested a hand on his arm, hidden from their mother's sight, indicating for him to stop. Severus sighed and turned before grabbing his sister's arm and pulling her onto the train.

The pair trudged around the train to find the compartment containing Severus' friend. They approached the door and Silver opened it slowly, immediately four pairs of eyes darted toward her, this made the girl immensely uncomfortable and very self conscious all of a sudden. Questioning looks surrounded the girl before her brother protectively stood in front of her. They recognised the older Snape and their body language eased with their eyes drifting back to the small girl. Silver let her hair to fall in front of her face, this allowed the others to take in her appearance. Their eyes worked their way from her long silver hair that both matched her name perfectly and glistened in the light coming in from the compartment window, making their way down to her deep, black eyes that matched her mother's and brothers, finally glancing down her small figure. The two boys sat nearest to her were captivated by the girl, they felt a sudden impulse to impress her, their eyes filled with lust as they watched the girl try to hide behind her brother using him as a shield from their gazes.

"And who might you be Princess?" An icy voice rose from the other side of the two boys. Silver raised her head to see a girl with black messy hair scraped into a pony tail with bits of hair sticking out all over the place. She looked into the one toned grey eyes that was boring into her. Silver replied confidently, "Silver Snape, Severus' sister and I can tell by the psychotic look in your eyes you must be Bellatrix Black." Her eyes glinting with humour as she saw the rage grow in the girls face. Severus looked at his sister in shock and returned his glaring gaze at Bellatrix who had stood up and was taking slow steps towards the significantly smaller girl.

Severus immediately glared at Bellatrix, "Sit back down before I hex you Bella!" This cause an argument between the two. Silver took this time to look around the small compartment taking in every little detail like the small rip on the seat which had clearly been caused by a fire of some sort and the four trunks on the shelves of the compartment. Each trunk had their owners name written on the label which Silver squinted in order to read.
Lucius Malfoy, Bellatrix Black, Barty Crouch Jr and Regulus Black.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a forceful arm pushing her out of the open compartment door and a flash of green light narrowly missing her head. Silver's eyes widened as she breathed deeply and looked to her brother who mirrored her shock. Bellatrix sat back on her seat looking smugly towards the boys opposite beginning a conversation with them as if nothing happened. Severus gestured for Silver to leave and she complied taking her trunk to find a new, safer compartment. Her thoughts clouded when she heard her brother shouting curse after curse, she couldn't make out what he was saying but she knew he would be using the curse they created together. Sectumsempra. The dark curse results in deep painful cuts that will be unable to ever heal. The twins created this spell after Severus was being heavily bullied and they needed a way to stop it. Silver, who was infuriated by the horrid and vile boys, created the idea of the spell whilst Severus who was extremely talented with spells although he rarely showed it, used it with ease against the unsuspecting young wizards.
